HP iPAQ Voice Messenger

The iPAQ Voice Messenger is at best, mediocre. There's nothing here that HTC, BlackBerry or Apple don't already do better, and unless your company already has a great HP contract, it's hard to recommend.

HTC Dream

Google's Android is awesome, but the Dream needs work. Parts of this handset are superb, but its lacklustre design and poor battery life hold it back significantly.

Reviews

  • i-mate Ultimate 9502

    The i-mate Ultimate 9502 is one of the best smartphones we have come across -- and if you're happy with Telstra -- the i-mate 9502 makes an excellent alternative to a Blackberry or iPhone.

  • Telstra F165

    Dubbed the "Country Phone" Telstra's F165 sure looks the part. A rugged, rubberised candy-bar form factor with an extendable external antenna masks powerful HSDPA connectivity.

  • Motorola RAZR2 V9

    Far from being another update, the sequel to the V3 is a whole different kind of RAZR, with rounder edges, shiny surfaces and -- somehow -- a thinner silhouette.

  • Nokia 6120 Classic

    Nokia's 6120 is a good all-rounder with fast Internet access at a very attractive price -- the camera isn't great, though.

  • Samsung A801

    Available on Telstra's Next G network, Samsung's slide-open A801 has a slim 13.8mm profile and sports a 3-megapixel camera.

  • Telstra F850

    The bottom line: The Telstra F850 offers a relatively inexpensive way to jump aboard the carrier's Next-G platform, as long as you don't mind travelling in the slow lane. Read our Australian review.

  • Palm Treo 650

    PalmOne updates its winning Treo smart phone, improving the display, adding Bluetooth and quad-band GSM connectivity.
